Answer:

Angle of reflection will be
40^(\circ)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given angle of incidence from the smooth surface is
40^(\circ)

So angle of incidence =
40^(\circ)

We have to find the angle of reflection

From l;aw of reflection we know that angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So angle of reflection will be equal to
40^(\circ)
